  • Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 breadsticks

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
  3. Add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons melted butter, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  8. Roll each piece into a breadstick shape and place on a greased baking sheet.
  9. Cover and let the breadsticks rest for 15–20 minutes for a second rise.
  10. In a small bowl, mix the remaining melted butter with minced garlic and parsley.
  11. Brush the breadsticks with half of the garlic butter mixture.
  12. Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
  13. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining garlic butter.
  14. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Fresh garlic provides the best flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted if needed.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a soft texture.
  • Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top before baking for a cheesy variation.
  • Add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy twist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat wrapped in foil at 350°F (175°C) for 5–10 minutes.
